L2b training - tips and discussion thread

[vetran]

Nope. Haven't trained in weeks. As soon as I attempt to train, I shake like a tulipting dog, ache all over and feel like I have flu. I have not been well for weeks, don't know when I will be better and really, really want to get training.

I'm not a very happy bunny.

well get well soon.

So forget cycling for a bit -

Eat healthily (that means fruit and veg - the salad in a kebab doesn't count)
Cut out the booze
Get plenty of sleep
And go for a 20 minute walk every day, building up to longer as you start to feel better. When you feel well enough, do a short cycle - don't push it, just get used to being back on a bike.

As long as you're well by April, no reason why you can't build up the cycling then.

Sorry about your bike, and the banana. I was being a tit. I hope your bike isn't too tricky to fix.

I'm a shade negative at the mo. Sound advice.

No worries

Sorry about the neg rep - I was in a slightly bad mood!

Bike is fixed - basically I got a puncture, couldn't get the tyre inflated with my new pump, then lost the spring off the quick release thingy, so walked it home. The nice man at the bike shop gave me a new spring and didn't charge me

Did a 12 mile round the block this arvo which was good. Do need to start upping the distances soon.

MS was on to something, build up slowly, pop round and we can go out for a light ride if you want. Beer at end optional!

Sorry if I sound like an ex smoker but getting fit again has made everything better. My general health, my attitude & outlook. I sort of lost it, but now I'm a lot more cheerful.

Ah yes, I forgot "Give up the fags (or switch to e-cigs)".
